Abstract: We estimate a discrete-time version of Vayanos and Vila's (2009) preferred habitat model, using Japanese government bond yield data. The estimated results indicate that bond excess returns become more sensitive to supply factors in the absence of a zero lower bound constraint unless arbitrageurs become willing to take on more risk.
